Whats your favorite quote?

Question

and why?

Answer 1

All the water in the world can't sink a ship unless it gets inside.

I don't know who said that, but I like it because it's very true. It has helped me get through some hard stuff.

Answer 2

I have two which I use often. One is work related, and the other is more of my personal life. I'll say them in that order:
1. Hold On For One More Day! When I'm having a bad day
or things are kinda gettin' on my nerves, I'll tell myself to
just hold on for one more day... you know, just survive
today and get outta here for some respite ere tomorrow's
shift comes.

2. Just Keep Pushing Ol' Boy. I tell myself to keep pushing
and to NOT stop 'cause it will no me no good. When
things are not as I would have them and issues are
arising, I'll tell myself to keep pushing. Like the one song
says "I won't worry 'bout life always"... that's my hope!

Here's one more just for extra fun here. It's a line which is said by Cyrano in Cyrano De Bergerac: Who are those men that are so fond of death, one Spaniard cried! He's talking about the bravery of the French against the Spaniards in the war. Well, that's a rap for me, alright. Keep pushing.

Answer 3

Answer 5

My favorite quote is when Shakespeare's Portia says,

"The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath."

That's the sweetest thought I've ever heard.

Answer 6

"It isn't so much that you do what you like, as it is that you like what you do" from Steven Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park with George [Seurat]"
It has reminded me though the second half of my life that there are ways to enjoy doing anything if you set your mind to it. It means be content with what you have.

My other favorite is called "the Golden Rule": "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Its all the religion I need.

Answer 7

This is my favorite quote because I have been a daycare provider for 26 years. Barney says-- "You get what you get and don't throw a fit!"

Answer 8

Bodies in motion tend to stay in motion; bodies at rest tend to stay at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force. One of Isaac Newton's Laws of Physics. I like it because it applies to people as well-- those that are fast tracking in their careers vice just trudging along doing the same old thing, those who are staying fit as opposed to those who have shunned the desire and discipline to stay fit and healthy in deference to quality and quantity time with food, couches, and girth.

Answer 9

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst

its lyrics from an R Kelly song

Answer 10

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.....quote from a U2 song
